Yeah if its a known dev then it would give much away, like if they said its From Software then ppl will get a certain confirmation.

[earvcunanan]

I really doubt this is made by From Software, just doesn't look like their creature designs at all. I know Shuhei Yoshida sent Allan Becker from Santa Monica studios to Japan to help rebuild Japan Studios, this might be one of his initiatives. I know they really want quicker dev cycles, I can only hope this turns out as good as Gravity Rush ended up being!

Yeah, that might be it. I'm glad Allan is there at SCEJ now to shake things up. I want to see more from Sony Japan. They've brought out some gems this generation (Folklore, Siren: Blood Curse, and to an extent: Demon's Souls).

[Mario007]

You don't know if it's an internal effort or not. They have left out names before with projects they own the IP of. And they really don't have anyone who could make a high-grade game like this.

What other highly regarded Japanese studio could make it, discounting internal Capcom, Namco and SE studios since then the game would be published by these companies too.

[ijed]

Been counting down the days till the 10th - looks damn cool - want to see more!

[Krev]

Folklore was developed by Game Republic.

[Dr.Palutena]

Looks interesting but still have to see more.

[JoeFenix]

Folklore was developed by Game Republic.

Game Republic!

Haha, you must have edited while I quoted you...

[Hanmik]

looks great from that short clip...

when will the "real" trailer be released..? UK time please..

[duckroll]

I wonder how much will end up being spoiled in Famitsu tomorrow...

[Aostia]

Really looking forward for this.
I dont have a Vita but I'm just waiting for a price drop + good amount of games to "jump in"!

[duckroll]

Regarding the developer, I'll say there is zero change of the game being by the Dark Souls team at From Software. If the game is indeed developed by From Software, then based on the teaser it would probably be the Otogi/MWC/NB team.

[nelsonroyale]

Now that looked like the kind of game I want to playing on my Vita

[Krev]

Safe! :)

I think we would have seen From Software in the copyright notices by now if they were behind it.

[earvcunanan]

Oh yeah, I guess Sony just owns the IP to it. RIP Game Republic.

[duckroll]

Huh? Why? SCEJ owns the IPs they fund.

[Krev]

Eh, I guess you're right. I just feel we would have heard something by now, but I guess they could have kept it under wraps.

Oh yeah, I guess Sony just owns the IP to it. RIP Game Republic.

Yeah, very sad.

[Hasemo]

And now I want this even more. Wonder if we'll get a specific release date on Thursday. Or is it 2013.

[magawolaz]

Looking good! Can't wait to see more

[RyougaSaotome]

Or is it 2013.

Don't even joke. =(

[Callibretto]

I saw a dash attack past the enemy, ice magic, earth/stone magic, lightning magic, and some charge attack near the end. enemy just stand there doing nothing though as he charge the attack. it looks great, the maic visual effect looks nice, especially like the lightning effect and character model seems pretty detailed.

can't wait to see more info about this, I hope this is coming to western market. actually, with Yosp saying that he put one of SSM guy to fix Studio Japan, I sure hope all Studio Japan games now get western release.

[Berksy]

Character's arm morphs in one scene? Also too fast for Demon's Souls. Though teaser may be fast forwarded.

[nelsonroyale]

YES! Is that an evil-bigmouthed-catdemon I see there?

[Arxisz]

If this game has the right formula of rpg mixed with some spice of multiplayer then it's gonna be a sure hit with me.

Also those graphics reminded me of quantum theory... not really a fan of that style.

[gembel]

it could be Inafune's game.. the fonts are the same!

Yeah it's very possible but who would be developing it?

[gembel]

Maybe Infafune producing it, From Software developing it, SCEJ directing it

[michaelius]

Looks like God Eater in dark fantasy setting.

Me want :)

[Kafel]

Souls look x MH

by Japan Studio


Why do people are thinking there's something else behind that game ?

Seems fine to me.

Woah, should've tagged it NSFW.

[StreetsAhead]

Yep, that sure is Monster Hunter.

Sony set to have a good year by the looks between this and Battle Royale.

[gembel]

Woah, should've tagged it NSFW.

i dont see anything wrong with that page :S

[Carl]

Looks like it could be Demon's Souls for the handheld community.

This. Reminded me a lot of Demon's Souls just from that snippet

[duckroll]

Really? Did you play a different Demon's Souls? This is a fast paced action game with magic and no weapons.

[Arxisz]

Eh? No weapons? so it's only magic? is that confirmed?

[duckroll]

It's not "confirmed" because like everything else about the game it isn't fully unveiled yet. But if you look at the key visuals, and the footage shown so far, and the tag lines they're using for the game, it's clear that the big focus is on controlling combat mages who use brutal spells as attacks. You don't see any character holding any weapons at all.

[Krev]

Looks like it. The aesthetic of the Inafune video with the old books in the background matches up with what this game seems to be going for. Looks like a place a sorcerer would hang out.

i dont see anything wrong with that page :S

I got an ad for that anime about the friendless girl a little down the page featuring her bare ass.

[Chuck Norris]

Really? Did you play a different Demon's Souls? This is a fast paced action game with magic and no weapons.

Thematically it looks very much like a Demon's Souls game in what I can see from the setting, bosses etc. Maybe a slightly more anime spin though

[demigod]

Woah, should've tagged it NSFW.

What are you seeing that is not safe?

[Carl]

Eh, it just reminded me a lot of it. I have no idea why, to be honest. When it started i just instantly thought of Demon's Souls.

[RyougaSaotome]

Hahahaha.

Admittedly, that bit at the end talking about the mysterious creator who's worked on many well known masterpieces strikes me completely as Inafune. Famitsu is clearly teasing a big creator. Inafune fits that bill.

I was of the same mindset until at about 27 seconds when you see this guy holding what looks like some giant sword? or maybe i'm seeing things because of all the effects going on.

[Drencrom]

Don't want to be seen browsing some jap site with big animu girl banners :lol

[/XX/]

Perhaps it's just me, but I feel like that's the Japanese equivalent of SSM at the moment (i.e. almost a conglomerate of development companies)?

I don't think those make the same procedures; SCE JAPAN Studio assembles teams required by the actual assigned producers of each title they make (on a individual basis), while SCE Santa Monica Studio acts as an hub or production center for other small studios, helping them to focus on specific tasks they are more capable to do (or committed to do).

[duckroll]

I was of the same mindset until at about 27 seconds when you see this guy holding what looks like some giant sword? or maybe i'm seeing things because of all the effects going on.

There's no sword, he summoned this huge thing which could be a stone pillar or whatever and just smashed it into the enemy.

[Pie and Beans]

Need to step off on the no weapons thing though really. Sure its fast paced and thus something pretty different from the Souls games, but you can see the dudes arm turn into a blade and melee stuff occur in the snippets available.

Looks just D__ Souls inspired enough to make me excited. Faster paced for portable play, hopefully a massive roster of monsters to loot and online co-op. Just the kind of game I want for Vita.

[Massa]

Yeah, caught that as well. Reminded me of Darksiders.

I still hope it's closer to ds than to mh.

[Bullza2o]

Looks good. I like how it is in English as well and its implications.
